KAPALUA, MAUI, HAWAII (December 16, 2011) – Tournament officials at the 2012 Hyundai Tournament of Champions continued to announce player commitments on the tournament’s Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/HyundaiTOC) this week as 2011 PGA TOUR winners Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson, Brendan Steele, Jhonattan Vegas and Lucas Glover all announced their plans to compete. The 2012 PGA TOUR season kicks off January 5-9 at The Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort with this unique winners-only event.

The player making the most headlines this week of the list above is Keegan Bradley, who was just named 2011 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year. Bradley’s season included his first career PGA TOUR victory at the HP Byron Nelson Championship and was later followed by his memorable playoff victory at the PGA Championship in his first start at a major championship. Bradley and fellow recent commitment Brendan Steele partnered to win the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout this past weekend. Steele was also one of six PGA TOUR rookies to win in 2011 with his win at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio.

Jhonattan Vegas was another PGA TOUR rookie to win in 2011. Vegas’ playoff victory at the Humana Challenge made him the first Venezuela-born player to win on the PGA TOUR and helped him become the first rookie to ever lead the FedExCup standings at any point in the season.

Lucas Glover will bring his experience winning three PGA TOUR events including the U.S. Open and last year’s Wells Fargo Championship to Kapalua. His win at Quail Hollow came in dramatic fashion in a playoff over Clemson teammate and 2011 Hyundai Tournament of Champions winner Jonathan Byrd. Glover will be playing in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions for the third time in his career, with his best finish (6th) coming in 2006.

Webb Simpson played as well as any other player on TOUR this year with victories at the Deutsche Bank Championship and the Wyndham Championship as well as two other runner-up finishes. Webb racked up 12 top-10 finishes and finished 2nd in the FedExCup. He will be making his first trip to Kapalua in 2012.
